Bonds’ jury hears personal shopper’s testimony

SAN FRANCISCO
— A transcript of the testimony from Barry Bonds’ personal shopper was being read back to the jury at the slugger’s perjury trial on Monday morning.

Jurors returned to the courtroom in San Francisco before 9 a.m. local time to hear a clerk read back all of Hoskins’ testimony, which took about an hour and a half when it happened live.

On Friday, the eight woman and four man panel deliberated all day, and asked for Hoskins’ testimony to be read back to them late in the day. They then broke for the weekend.

Hoskins testified that she witnessed Bonds’ personal trainer, Greg Anderson, inject the player in the navel before a road trip during the 2002 season. She is the only person with eyewitness testimony to an injection. One of the four counts Bonds is charged with alleges he lied to the grand jury when he said no one but his doctor ever injected him with anything.

Some jurors took notes while the transcript was read. Bonds looked at the jurors, apparently trying to get a read on which way they are leaning.
